ToughBuilt ClipTech Electrician Pouch

[@jacobhare_true]

I actually just bought this and have only used it just today and here’s my humble opinion: This is more of an installation pouch than a “service call” pouch. Meaning ditch the multi meter and leave that in the bag. The way I set my pouch up is like so: Front pocket is 6in1 like you had. Main pouch is my lineman’s pliers, 3 screw drivers, angled cutters. Thin Pocket behind main pouch is Klein non-contact voltage tester (pen) and AC/DC voltage tester. The pocket on the left with the Velcro over top is for the outlet voltage tester. Of course the chain is for electrical tape. And the two loops on the other side holds my needle nose pliers and a Milwaukee pen light. For an installation kit, it works excellent. If you’re needing your multimeter for specific measurements and readings, I’d assume you’ll need even more specialist tools. So for that- bring your whole bag along. A personal gripe is that I wish it had a hammer loop. But I just supplement with the contractor pouch and put wire nuts and staples inside. It balances my belt without feeling too bulky. I hope this was helpful! Cheers!

Awesome comment Jacob! I love this. I’ll pin your comment to the top.

[@jacobhare_true]

@@TheDurbinCompound I hope it helps someone. For the price it’s hard to ignore the tough built stuff. I went this route just to be able to easily mount and carry my belt on my packout. (I was putting my previous belt in a large bag which worked, but ultimately was quite bulky). This specific pouch definitely lacks some features. However- there are a couple other technician and electrician pouches that seem to cover the bases better. Those are much larger and bulky though. So there’s a trade off.

Watching him pack it is like watching those infomercials where people can't function normally. Lol.

[@robhienz5941]

As a commercial electrician who strictly does new builds I have found this pouch very useful! Granted I do not carry a meter but it is my go too for my everyday tools like linesman’s, strippers, 11-1, hot stick, tape measure, electrical tape and a few other odds and ends! I can get through the majority of my day with what I can fit in this pouch! Just depends on the type of work you are doing I guess!

[@yusafkhan9347]

I've had this pouch for over a year now and it's taken a lot of abuse and handled it very well. Only downside is, if you wash the pouch then you can no longer use the flip out kickstand as it must be made of cardboard and it then becomes saggy and no longer holds the pouch upright.

[@dylpicklespete]

im able to fit 3 insulated screwdrivers, an 11 in 1, a multi bit nut driver, 2 knives, a level, non contact voltage tester, wire strippers, and some long nose pliers with room to spare best 15 bucks ive spent

[@prestongarvey2285]

Lift engineer here just bought it and it’s so good got Milwaukee pack out a Stanley technician bag and this

[@stevensears6829]

I'm a commercial Electrician. This thing is awesome. I wish I could attach a picture with proper set up. Where you put the pen tester I put a 11 in one screw driver. The one behind that a pair of channel locks. Please and stippers inside. Level and tape measure on front. Bits to various tools and drills. Have a case with a strap for my meter separate to hook on belt separate. This pouch is mainly for task spefic projects, so you just load the tools you know you're going to need

[@8bitsamurai6]

Yea he's bitching becuase it's not his style. He's acting like an Amazon person that's complaining for all the wrong reasons. It's ment to be a light weight minimal kit dude. Not a full size pouch. If you want a handle get one with. Lost major respect for the lack of common sense with this guy.

[@littlejimmy7402]

Just looking at this now, I have to say when you started to criticized the length of the tape chain I all of the sudden felt my brain u-turn to wife mode. If you don't like the length of the chain you can re-size it easy (it's a bag full of tools), or remove it. I love these pouches, they are inexpensive but sturdy so far (I'm strictly a home user). I like that I can grab a pouch and take a walk, tighten up and stupid stuff like drawer pulls, door knobs, I can troubleshoot a power issue, I can fix a leaky faucet, or whatever. But if I can't fix a problem with what I have, I can make a note and come back with a different pouch. They keep my tools organized and easy to inventory. There are so many options on how to set them up. Honestly, I care about my tools again, these things are like freakin' Legos and I can't stop playing with them.

[@wmitrader]

Your struggle with getting the non-contact tester out was reminiscent of OJ Simpson “trying” to get the gloves on that didn’t “fit”

[@TheDurbinCompound]

If the glove don’t fit, you must acquit!

[@iSousa77]

Screwdrivers go in the side slots? Who carry’s a meter around?

[@KOSTAS5678727]

I love their lineup !!

[@patrickyates2662]

There is two screwdriver slots on the side....

[@boombap08]

Yea like he put everything where you would least want it. Its just meant to be a smaller pouch not a full size one.

[@azure401]

... so can he just not see the slots on the side where you could put those screw drivers or...?

[@xm4rksth3spot37]

As I was watching this I like the pouch and am just getting into this system, I think you are trying to put 10 lbs in a 5 lb sack. only reason I say that is because they do have another pouch that is designed more for service calls. I believe its called the journeymans pouch.

[@recoverytrouble]

I use this pouch as a fire tech & the only issue I have is I should have bought their more "comfy" belt. I even fit my meter in there. Granted I don't do a lot of service calls so my setup is quite basic but it definitely does the trick.

[@in_haunt]

I daily drive this pouch. Screwdrivers in the small section; side-cuts, channel locks, level, and occasionally an RJ45 crimper in the main compartment; sharpie in the loop; needle nose and cable scissors in the outer right two loops; open strippers in the flat side section, handles sticking out either side; punch tool in the front. Front clip either holds a tape measure or the drill

[@mahdavimail]

Most of the pouches suffer from the same issues. I would say kuney’s electrician pouch sold in HD is cheap enough and has better arrangements/slots. Tnx for video

[@8bitsamurai6]

The screw drivers go on the side. Really depends on the person and their style. I prefer a small pouch and carry a lil bag for everything else. Your def overloading the purpose of this one. Should try the journey man or a utility pouch instead. They have several other bags you can mix and match. The hook are for hex clips and the tape is good to have. The front pouch os for strippers or pliers and you can tighten it as needed.

[@MrDonaldstepp]

I do hvac work, I would either buy a smaller clamp on meter or put it in my veto meter pack( turned it into a back pack) then have my drill hanging to the side. So I would have drill right side, mini back pack and this on my left side. The small pouch is for a note pad btw

[@Vladimir-JT]

as a home inspector its perfect.

[@Heizenberg32]

Thank you! I had all the same questions and frustrations you mentioned. I assumed most of these were common features and I was just ignorant as to their intended purpose.

[@beauhayes8598]

I carry my main essentials in the larger pouch 8in1 screw driver, angle cutters, magnetic tip Phillips, strippers and a small headed flat for switch and outlet covers, I put my non contact tester and a sharpie in the small front pouch and my lineman’s I stick in the small side holster and the one behind that I just clip my knife into it and I would put my plug in tester for recepts into the other pouch with the little flip cover and of course a roll of tape on the tape holder. It’s worked pretty well for me so far seeing that I’ve only been using it for a short amount of time.

[@tommyfred6180]

not a service call pouch. but would be good for small installation work. like fitting garden lights

[@leonthebicolourjoker1085]

when you open that pass thrugh, you can put your hammer in it as a hammer loop.

[@zraylin.khalitzburg2968]

I use mine for network tools. Small pouch is the crimper The pen sleeve in the large pouch holds my Jensen scissors Large section is a linkrunner Velcro pouch a couple tracers for the link runner That through pouch is the punch down tool The two loops I'll put a screwdriver in one and the other my strippers\snips go in handle first so they sit securely

[@Heizenberg32]

It seems like the small size is the main deal killer for you. The mid-size "Journeyman" model would be a better fit. It is what I use every day. It still has the other design quirks you point out, but a lot more space to work with. The first one I had was the even larger "Master Electrician" model. But that one was too bulky for my taste. It got regifted as soon as I got the "journeyman" model I use today.

[@boratb258]

I just got this pouch today, its more of a what you need pouch while on the ladder, two screwdriver cut outs on the right, wire strippers and two-three pliers, i got the framers pouch on the left for material needed. I keep my tools in a backpack and just pull what i need for what im doing to keep the belt light.

[@adude7050]

So the two loops on the side are for the screwdriver Robertson and Flat head throw the ECX away. Or just carry an 11 in 1. . Non contact in the pouch with the flap wire strippers or installation tool) in front . Linesmen's, side cutters and level n main pocket. your knife in last pocket. Like Jacob said installation pouch. I don't have this one but I have another brand set up similarly a Kuny's. I have been eyeing this line but for an installation pouch I kind of like the 10 pocket technicians pouch better. These small ones are great for ladder work.

[@AutobahnDan]

Good review, I see everybody is going crazy for those v slots on the back and mounting them to their Packouts..

[@araiakunin352]

I know this is an older video but I can't for the life of me find how deep the narrow pocket on the far back is. In the video the pliers look like they only go barely 3" deep. I'd check it out in person but, It's not available locally to see on in person

[@edwardgutierrez8991]

The way i set mine up is needle nose and utility knife in the top pocket. I. The main compartment i carry my lineman pliers and diagonal cutters. Front pocket my wire strippers. In the two slots my 11 in 1 and a flathead screwdriver. In the pouch with velcro flap i carry my impact bits. Non contact tester in my shirt or pants pocket. My multimeter i carry in its pouch and only carry when i need it.This is my pouch for service calls or towards the end of a new construction job when i dont need my tool belt.

Main pouch needs to be about 2-3" deeper and have slots for different tools instead of one main pouch. Agree with the other stuff you said as well.

There are a lot of great options out there. If you don’t have a lot to spend, this series of different pouches is awesome. Pretty good bang for buck. If you want some stuff that is top of the line and has a price to match, Veto pouches are top notch!

[@calebbarris912]

@@TheDurbinCompound the tech I was with Friday had a Veto Pro Pac and it was awesome. Loved how he could just throw it on to his belt and go. I ended up going with the Toughbuilt. Liked how it had a similar option with the belt clip. Once I get my feet wet I'll probably make the switch. Thanks man!

Also works great for maintenance tech.

[@Mac-StayTrue]

That’s why there’s hand bags why carry meter in tool pouch 🤣🤣

[@diggeranderson8207]

I wouldn't use it for electrical purposes. Id use it to hold my green and red snips, trim square, soft faced hammer and hand seamer. The "pass through" is to adjust the pocket depth based on the length of the tool you are using it for.. obviously.

[@russellham2094]

I wouldn't use this as a maintenance carry bag, my Veto TP4B is ideal. But this comes into it's own, if you attach the a clip to your steps and use it as a task specific pouch

I was looking for a small pouch that could fit my big Milwaukee reamer, channel lock and linesman pliers while also being able to hold a tape measure because my I'm doing commercial so using just a handful of tools 🤷 If you need this shit ton of tools, you're either carying too much, or doing residential. At this point, just get whole tool belt set with lots of pockets.

I bought one of these too. I had the exact same issues you did. I really wanted to like it but it just doesn't work.

[@kingofthecrease30]

those pouches are generally made for easy access to everything...if they had slots for screwdrivers it makes it more difficult to get them in & out especially if you are on a ladder....you get what you pay for...less than $20...its not veto quality

It's a small pouch. Small means for small jobs, like changing fixtures or changing out wall outlets. You don't need all that stuff for small jobs. Side pouch is for a cell phone. You don't need a utility knife to change out a power outlet, nor a multimeter.

In the main pouch next to the small pouch is a little fabric ring I have my insulated Phillips screwdriver in it. In the pouch that has the Velcro I have my Klein strippers. I have my tape measure in front of that on the metal piece. On the side that has the Velcro I have my stubby screwdriver. In the other side I have my flathead and my screw lock driver. Depending on what I’m doing I also have a twirly screwdriver for trimming out and a beater screwdriver for roughing in the side with my flat head.

They make a larger electrical pouch

[@espressomatic]

Imagine if the manufacturer made a video that tells everyone exactly where everything goes? kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4vNd2aXl9KrjZY Why not put the screwdrivers in the dedicated screwdriver loops on the right? That's where they go on any electrician's pouch. I'd also like to see you take a tape roll off a short chain - you need space to turn the clip. I'm sure an electrician wouldn't have any issues setting this up. Maybe it's not designed for the home owner.
